Fuji Instant in 4x5 sheets in Japan?

[Renato Tonelli]

Is anyone aware if Fuji makes instant films in 4x5 single sheets for the Japanese market?

[Gordon Moat]

Definitely no. Only pack films, though they do have a larger size pack film that fits the Polaroid 550 holder. They make their own holder that is similar to that, designated PA-45. When you look at the Fuji Instant films, the ones that have 45 at the end of the name are for the larger holder, for example FP100C45.

The more common Fuji Instant films are the slightly smaller pack films that fit into the Polaroid 405 holder, and most medium format Polaroid backs. Fuji also make a holder similar to the 405, which is designated PA-145.

There are some of their Instant films specific to the Japanese market, like FP100C Silk, which has a different surface finish. It is not yet known whether Fuji will expand their Instant film offerings in other markets.

Ciao!
